Funny - you sound exactly like me on Jallu (a superb Finnish branvin or burnt wine) ;-)

One day we have to get drunk together and then go out and vomit on Murdochs. I am a non-violent person, but I do not consider soft projectiles to be violence. I have not yet given up hope that the Narri Approach (That's Finnish for Jester) - ie hitting those in power on the head with an inflated pigs' bladder - will be effective.

What we need is more Ridicule! It is a powerful weapon against the pompous. But one blow is never enough - drip drip drip.

Now go and join the Bald One in rehab. And take care ;-)

That must have something to do with the fact that I find both of you barely comprehensible and strangely inspiring at the same time.

You surely know the Indian concept of the Mast - The Holy Idiot?

Actually I grew up on Lawrence Lipton's 'The Hoy Barbarians'

 "When the barbarians appear on the frontiers of a civilization it is a sign of crisis in that civilization. If the barbarians come, not with weapons of war but with the songs and ikons of peace, it is a sign that the crisis is one of a spiritual nature".

I produced a revue at school while in the Sixth Form of my grammar school in aid of the Congo Relief Fund (1960 or 61?). One sketch I wrote featured Jack Kerouac, so I've been at this subversive stuff quite a long time ;-). With about 600 parents, teachers and pupils in the Great Hall of a school founded in 1444, it gave me a tremendous buzz to screw with their minds. The feeling's never quite receded.

The Headmaster was very pleased though with the money we raised, and in an unprecedented gesture, came on stage and shook our hands. I am not sure he fully understood what we were up to...

Having more than a few drinks together sounds dangerous - fun! - but dangerous.  If you're ever in the States let me know and I'll get there.  Somehow.

The chances of me coming to the States again get slimmer and slimmer, sadly. Though I have some old Jewish comedy friends from Boston  who have a house in NM which they plead with me to visit.

I just feel so uncomfortable flying for environmental reasons - even though I have always loved being up in the air, and have flown in almost every type of flying machine.
